If you scroll down to the bottom of this link https://www.stencilgirltalk.com/ you will see the inspiration stencil project I chose for my card. I never tried this BG die cut before and it turned out to be a total time zapper, due to the fact that it only cut portions of the mailing sticker label no matter how many times I ran it through the machine. I laid it over a brusho background and then I took an Exacto knife and played surgeon, separating the layers for about a half hour, semi-finishing the job it was supposed to do. I relaxed about it, but I know you can relate to the pain of it all. I decided to do a baby block card and grabbed the first image I saw that fit the bill. The blocks were stamped on scrap colored paper with Salty Ocean Oxide and embossed. The bunny was stamped and embossed in black and colored with distress crayons. A little wink of Stella on the top of the bottle and the binky. All was mounted on a pretty yellow.

I don't like doing surgery; it makes me so nervous, but I'm glad you persevered with this baby card because it's So Cute, Lori! Love your brusho bg and the die-cut works so perfectly with the baby blocks~

Super sweet card. I can totally relate to your story. I have several dies that don't like to cut out in the middle. I usually put a piece of folded copy paper on top of my cutting plate in the problem zone to add more pressure. Glad you made your piece work!
